Please add a pause button to the app while the rover is charging during a work plan. Since the scheduling feature does not stop multiday plans at night, I have to manually pause my long plans. If it’s on the charger, I have to wait for it to end charging before pausing the plan. Or I can manually resume off the charger, wait for it to start moving, then send it back to the charger, which will pause the work plan overnight. But this causes extra wear on my turf. A pause-work-plan feature would let me stop mowing at night whether it’s charging or mowing and manually resume in the morning. This would also be useful when it rains, since my rain sensor doesn’t work.

I discovered that if my Yarbo is charging at nightfall on a multi-day plan, I can activate the manual controller, which pauses the plan. Then I select recharge, and it won’t auto-resume after charging. I manually resume the next morning. It would be nicer if the schedule feature would work to limit mowing hours for long plans, though.

This request is huge. Where I am at, it can get well into the 100’s and I would like to have the rover only cut during certain hours. What makes this challenging for me is the times would vary based on the module.

EX:

- Mower is quiet. It could cut from 6am until 11am. Then resume around 7pm to 9pm.
- Blower not quiet. I would restrict this to 8am to 11am and resume 7pm-8pm in the hot months
- Start a plan, pause the plan and run the rover manually for some time, then tell the rover to continue the plan it did not complete.

As this product advances, I see the potential with some of these tweaks. Even if this granularity was not added immediately, a pause would be great!

Have they addressed this yet? If I had to guess, do any of the developers have a lawn?

Indirectly. You can set the schedule to return at set time and set another scheduled task for the next day (for multi-day jobs) to execute the same work plan again the next day. It will return at set time, charge to full and then when the next scheduled task for the same work plan fires off, it will resume where it left off.

Will it resume in the middle of a large area”?
